"Who?" Trish asked confused and exited at the same time.
"Stacy." John answered.
"That's terrific." Trish said as she threw her arms around John's neck and hugged him.
"Yeah. Listen the reason I told you is because I was kinda hoping you could maybe see if she likes me." John said as Trish slowly pulled away.
"Sure, I'm going to see her in a few hours."
"Okay, good. But don't tell her I want to know."
"Okay, I won't. I promise."
"Good. I gotta go but I'll call you later." John said getting off the bed and opening the door.
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." John said walking out the door.
When John left Trish went into the bathroom and took a shower and got dressed. Just as Trish walked out of the bathroom her cell phone rang, she ran over to where she had put it on the stand next to the couch. She grabbed the phone took it off the charger and pressed talk.
"Hello?" Trish asked as she pushed a piece of wet hair out of her face.
"Hey."
She instantly recognized the voice.
"Hey, Randy. What's up?"
"Nothin', but I was kinda wondering if maybe later you wanted to hang out? It's gonna be me, Stace, John, Jay, and Jay's gonna bring some girl with him. So, do you wanna come?" Randy asked as he crossed his fingers.
"Um… sure. But why can't we go now?"
"Because um… I already told everyone 7:00."
"I'm not stupid Randy, if this was any other time you would say okay and call everyone to tell them we were gonna meet earlier. So, why can't we go earlier?"
"Trish…"
"Answer me, Randy."
"Fine, I didn't want to tell you because I know you're not completely over him but… me and AJ were gonna meet in a little while."
"Oh…" Trish said getting off the bed and walking over to the window.
"I'm sorry. But I didn't wanna tell you, because I know you're still pissed."
"It's okay, he's your friend and you have a right to see and talk to him."
"Trish.."
"No, go and meet him, or talk to him, or whatever you were gonna do. I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready for later, bye." Trish said.
"Okay, but I'll call you after, I promise." Randy said walking out.
"Don't bother, I'll meet you and everyone else in the lobby at 7. Now goodbye." Trish answered hanging up the phone and walking into the bathroom.shutting the door.
Randy walked into his hotel room and saw AJ sitting on the chair next to the bed.
"Hey." Randy said sitting on the bed.
"Hi." AJ answered not as enthusiastic as his friend was.
"What's up with you?"
"You know what, Randy."
"No, I don't." Randy said grabbing two beers out of the fridge.
"The whole Trish thing." AJ said taking the beer Randy had offered to him.
"That's your fault. You were being an ass."
"You think I don't know that? I don't even know why I did it."
"That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Randy asked as he took a sip of his beer.
"Uhm… a few things." AJ answered.
"Like, what?"
"Uhm… I wanted to know if everyone hates me?"
"Well, I can't speak for everyone else but, I'm kinda mad. But we're still friends. So what else did you want to talk to me about?"
"Trish." AJ said as he scratched the top of his head.
"What about her?"
"How is she?"
"How is she? She's hurt, upset, and pissed. She lost her best friend and her boyfriend. How do you think she feels?"
"Randy listen, I know I screwed up, and I know I hurt her, and I'm sorry for that. If I could take it all back I would."
"But you can't, that's the whole thing. You can't take it back." Randy said as he picked up his cell phone and started looking through his messages.
"But I could try and make up for it."
"How?" Randy asked as he selected a message and started reading it.
"I don't know, I'll think of something. I'm gonna get Trish back, I swear." And with that AJ grabbed his jacket and walked out of the room.
Just as AJ left Randy put his cell phone on the stand next to his bed and layed down. All of a sudden his cell phone rang, with a groan he picked it up, checked the name, and answered it.
"Hey, John." Randy said with a sigh.
"Hey." John answered back. "What's up with you?"
"Nothin'."
"It's not nothin', it's somethin'. What is it?"
"AJ, was just here, and he said he is going to do whatever it takes to get Trish back.
"Why is that bad?"
"Because he cheated on her, dumbass."
"I know that. But why are you so mad? And don't even think about telling me what you always tell me." John said, his voice serious. "You like her don't you?" John asked even though he already knew Randy did. He just wanted his friend to finally admit his feelings for Trish.
